Each week, YSA highlights a young person who is making extraordinary contributions and commitments to service as an Everday Young Hero. Winners receive a certificate and letter, and are featured on YSA.org, social media, and in the weekly Youth Service Briefing.

As the highest honor YSA awards, the Harris Wofford Awards pay homage to former Senator Harris Wofford, one of our nation's greatest public servants and long-time YSA board member. The awards are given annually and recognize extraordinary young people, educators, organizations and public officials who are making strides towards realizing Senator Wofford's vision of "making service and service-learning the common expectation and the common experience of ever young person in America."
